I shot jpeg my entire young career (it made one year in march) primarily because when I first got into photography, i asked for a point and shoot because 1. Its a recession and 2. I didn't feel I was ready for a dslr. After winning a few competitions and saving up, my mom and I bought me my first dslr. The jpeg files were nice and all but I decided I wanted to try raw, only to find out I couldnt view or edit raw files on my tablet (I used my galaxy tab 2 10.1 to edit because its convenient and I had photoshop touch) a couple weeks ago, my uncle's girlfriend (a computer tech) gave me one of her macbooks. The macbook has the full cs4 suite. I shot raw for the first time yesterday and LOVED it. I loved the quality, the image control, everything.
My question is this, I know people shoot raw to avoid jpeg compression, but I like to share my work on instagram and we all know, id need to convert the file. If I convert it to jpeg, am I losing quality? If I make it a PNG will i lose less? Any tips or tricks would be very much appreciated. Try not to lay into me too bad, im a noob with raw.
